Kit de câbles INTEL CBLMCSLRTKIT assemblage de câbles Slim SAS x8 vers Slim SAS x8

INTEL CBLMCSLRTKIT Slim SAS x8 to Slim SAS x8 cable assembly is an internal cable solution designed to connect controllers, host bus adapters, and backplanes that use Slim SAS x8 connectors. The assembly supports multi-lane SAS data transfer within server chassis and storage enclosures, providing a compact routing option for dense rack environments and internal cabling paths.

Advantages

The cable assembly delivers direct point-to-point connectivity with minimal signal loss and reduced cable bulk compared with standard SAS ties. Its Slim SAS x8 form factor enables tighter cable management and improved airflow in server and storage systems. Constructed for internal use, the cable is intended to maintain reliable data throughput for multi-lane SAS configurations while occupying less physical space.

Suitable for

• Connecting Slim SAS x8 compatible controllers to Slim SAS x8 backplanes
• Internal cabling in rack servers and storage arrays
• Server upgrades and storage expansion projects requiring multi-lane SAS interconnects
• Environments where compact cable routing and improved airflow are priorities

Key specifications

• Connector type: Slim SAS x8 to Slim SAS x8
• Intended use: Internal server and storage interconnect
• Data lanes: Multi-lane SAS support (x8)
• Form factor: Slim/low-profile cable assembly for compact routing
• Typical routing: Designed for short, internal runs within chassis and enclosures

How to use

Install the cable assembly by powering down the server or storage system and following proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions. Align each Slim SAS x8 connector with the corresponding mating receptacle on the controller, HBA, or backplane, then press until the connector seats securely. Route the cable to avoid obstructing airflow or interfering with other components, and secure it using existing chassis cable tie points where available. After installation, power up the system and verify device recognition and link status in the host controller or storage management utility.

Recommendations

Use the cable only for internal connections in supported systems and avoid exposure to external environmental stress such as excessive bending, crushing, or prolonged flexing. Follow vendor guidelines for maximum cable length and compatibility with Slim SAS x8 controllers and backplanes to ensure reliable operation.
